DZWatch Exclusive – The Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad has announced a new initiative aimed at assisting Algerian citizens currently residing abroad in irregular situations. The program offers a pathway to regularization, allowing these individuals to return to Algeria in an organized and supported manner.
The announcement, made earlier today, follows a directive from President Abdelmadjid Tebboune focused on addressing the precarious circumstances of Algerian nationals facing legal or administrative challenges abroad. This includes individuals involved in minor offenses related to public order or similar situations.
According to a statement released by the Ministry, eligible citizens are encouraged to contact Algerian diplomatic and consular missions in their respective countries of residence. These missions will provide guidance on submitting applications and the necessary documentation to benefit from this regularization process. A key condition for participation is a commitment to avoid repeating the actions that led to their initial legal or administrative difficulties.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirms the State’s commitment to supporting and protecting members of the national community residing abroad, and to addressing their concerns,” the statement emphasized. This initiative underscores the government’s dedication to upholding the well-being of its citizens overseas, in accordance with the instructions of the highest authorities in the country.
This move is expected to provide relief and a fresh start for many Algerians abroad who have been living in uncertainty. DZWatch will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as they become available.
